Question

Using VB6

using Textbox in my form.

I want to limit the Input in the textbox, so maximum value should be 6.
User should enter up to six chars otherwise it should show error message

Button1.click

if Length(textbox1.text) > 6 then
  enter only six chars
else if Length(textbox1.text) < 6 then
  enter up to six chars

How do I make the code for the above condition.

Well, you’re getting close!

First … use the Len function, not Length, which doesn’t exist.

Second … you can use the function MsgBox to display an error message.

Putting it all together:

If Len(TextBox1.Text) < 6 Then
   MsgBox "Too short!"
Else If Len(TextBox1.Text) > 6 Then
   MsgBox "Too long!"
End If
